POLICE have appealed for information about a convicted killer who is unlawfully at large.

It is believed Thomas McCabe was sentenced to life for the 1990 murder of his then girlfriend’s cousin.

Detective Constable William Arnott said: “McCabe, who was sentenced to life for murder, was released from prison on licence, however following a number of breaches his licence was revoked in January 2018."

McCabe is described as around 5ft 8in tall, of medium build with short grey coloured hair.

Police believe he has connections to Newry, Newtownabbey, and Dublin.

The police officer urged McCabe to hand himself in.

"I would appeal to anyone who has seen Thomas McCabe, or who knows of his whereabouts to contact us on 101,” he said.

“I would also appeal directly to him directly to hand himself in.”
